Which is your preferred thumb key for space and return on the sofle? Default has return on the left and space on the right. I’ve been using it opposite for a bit with space on the left and was liking that but figured I’d try it out in the default config for a bit. Not sure which I like more / which one feels more comfortable. What’s your preference? Do you use space on the left or the right side? Is there a reason for the enter/return key being on the left and space on the right by default?

    I have always typed with space on right hand. I also have enter on the right hand because I had tab on my left hand and wanted left handed alt+tab. This ran into an issue with not having enter on left thumb when my hand is on the mouse so now I have a combo for enter on my left hand too lol.

    That said, space on right for life

      Ah, I’m having to relearn to type a bit since I learned to touch type as a kid and hit space with both thumbs.

        Interesting. I feel like I’ve never heard of that. Everyone I know only uses a specific thumb for space. But some people use their thumb for shift so there are definitely some unconventional ways to type

          Maybe it’s non conventional? Guess it just sorta came naturally and I just hit space with which ever thumb was on the hand opposite of the last pressed key as I was finishing up a word.
